How can I find the source of creation of contact? I have 4K+ data to analyse, is there a way to find out the source of creation.

Hi @PBarik,

This information is stored in the “Original source” properties, see here: [Understand Original and Latest traffic source properties](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/contacts/understand-source-properties)

This property can be used in list filters, as columns in filtered views or in reports. In the free CRM, you’ll find some default reports under Menu \> Reports \> Reports \> Create report, then use the search bar in the top left corner to type in “source”.

Best regards!
